Mounties in Vanderhoof are once again asking the public for information on the disappearance of Madison Scott, with today being eight years since she went missing.
Police say on May 27, 2011, Madison attended a party at Hogsback Lake, which is a Forest Service Campsite roughly 25 kilometres south of the District.
At the time, the 20-year-old drove a white 1990 Ford F150 pickup truck, pitched her tent, and was camping with a group of friends.
On May 28, at roughly 4 a.m., everyone else except Madison left and she was last known to be in her tent.
RCMP say she has not been seen since.
"We believe that something criminal may have occurred between 4 and 8:30 a.m. on May 28, that led to Maddy’s disappearance, we do not believe she simply walked away," Cpl. Matthew MacLeod of the North District Major Crime Unit says in a release. "We know someone out there has information that can help us find Maddy or identify the person(s) responsible."
Her parents, Dawn and Eldon Scott, are also urging anyone that has information, to come forward.
"These are not easy times. Our daughter remains missing and we need your help. We have learned a lot through this process, but one thing that has become apparent is that information is what drives an investigation. There is no excuse not to call the police with what you know. There is no way to rationalize talking about this case with others and not the police. If you want to know how you can help us, call the Vanderhoof RCMP at (250) 567-2222 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS if you wish to remain anonymous, with any information that you may have because we need to find Maddy."
